What if there's another way of dealing with feelings of rage?
Here's what Osho says in response to a question about it: "How can I be aware during anger? This feeling is so strong it's like thousands of wild horses are running away with me!
"Anger is a very small thing. If you can just wait and watch, you will not find 'thousands of wild horses.' If you can find even a small donkey, that will be enough! Just watch it, and it will go, slowly. It will enter from this side and will go out from the other side. You just have to keep a little patience not to ride on it.
"Anger, jealousy, envy, greed, competitiveness... all our problems are very small, but our ego magnifies them, makes them as big as it can. The ego cannot do otherwise; its anger has also to be great. By its great anger, and great misery, and great greed, and great ambition it becomes great.
"But you are not the ego, you are only a watcher. Just stand by the side and let all the thousands of horses pass – let us see how long it takes for them to pass. There is no need to be worried. As they come – they are wild – they will go. But we don't miss even a small donkey; we immediately jump on it! You don't need thousands of wild horses. Just a small thing, and you are full of anger and fire. You will laugh about it later on, at how stupid you were.
"If you can watch, without getting involved, as if it is something on the screen of a movie house or of a TV screen... something is passing; watch it. You are not supposed to do anything to prevent it, to repress it, to destroy it, to pull out a sword and kill it, because from where will you get the sword? – from the same source as the anger is coming. It is all imagination.
"Just watch, and don't do anything – for or against. And you will be surprised: that which was looking very big becomes very small. But our habit is to exaggerate.
"A small boy comes home running, and tells his mother – he is not more than three years old – 'mum, a great lion, roaring loudly, was running after me for miles! But somehow I managed to escape. Many times he came very close. He was just about to attack me when I started running faster.'
"The mother looked at the boy and said, 'Tommy, I have told you a million times not to exaggerate! How can you find a lion in the city... and you have been running for miles? And where is the lion?'
"The boy looked outside the door. He said, 'he is standing there. But, to tell you the truth, it is just a small dog – very small! But when it was running after me, it appeared... You tell me not to exaggerate, and right now you have been exaggerating that you have told me millions of times.'
